A Mothers Devotion.

The enthusiastic devotion of mother to her babe is something passing the compre- hension of the average man. The head of the family, kind, affectionate and self sacri- ficing though he may be, may approximate, but he can never attain, the sublime height of the self sacrificing love that stirs the mothers heart. To others this devotion is often puzzle, so little do the joys of mother hood extend beyond the sanctum in which the cradle is the shrine, and it's tiny occupant the idol. But little as babies may be wor- shiped in this ultra matter of fact age, it is nevertheless true that a thew baby' in the home creates an interest equaled only by the bringing home of new bride. And while the baby may be ever so unattractive in feature, sooner or later it comes to be re garded as the ''loveliest baby in the world, J so loving and lovable are it's ways.-Herald of Health.

''REMEMBER the poor" can never become an obsolete appeal as long as we have be- fore us the high phrase involving pre- cept: "The poor we have always with us , We refer in another place to the attrac- tions presented to the well-to-do people of our city by storekeepers and traders; and we recur to our suggestion last week that there are bakers and butchers and drapers and coal dealers who will be glad to get a small supplemental order, in excess of per sonal wants, for the poor family round the corner that once had it's own happy Christ mas time too, It will not make large de- mands on @ well-flled purse, and then think of the happiness to know, as you lay your head on the pillow at night, that you have given happiness during the day to some poor body who needed your assistance. When you wish merry Christmas to your friends and neighbors in your own sphere remember those for whom you can make it merry by little timely and delicate bene- fcence. A general organization for Christ mas aid to the poor would be, perhaps, the more effective way of exercising the char ity of the season; but the private ministra- tion has the recommendation of delicacy tc sensitive feeling as we'll as the relief of substantial want
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1887-12-14

IT needs not the Almanac record of seasons to tell us that Christmas is at hand. The air is full of signs and portents; the streets, particularly on days like to-day and yesterday, are we'll thronged with sight seekers; and the shop windows give ample food for the enjoyment of mere curiosity or the more acceptable compliment to the store-keepers, of purchase. Clothing is superabundant in the tailor shops; confec- fectionery presents many attractions; toys are, of course in profusion; fruits, in season and out of season, are manifold in variety; furniture has many features, an tique and modern, solidly useful or fanci- fully ornamental; in 8 word, every trade and every calling puts forth some special claim for popular patronage for the; satis- faction of the aged or the delectation of the young; and the best thing intending purchasers could do in their own interests would be to look over the adYertisino columns of the DEMOCRAT, where the fore most amongst our traders in all depart ments make their announcements in the foremost medium to meet the eyes of the purchasing public.

Queen Charlotte's Islanders.

The fire making implements of these peo- pie is a narrow piece of walrus tusk about a foot and a half long-shaped like a bow, and on which are engraved hunting scenes To this is attached a sealskin string Fire is made by taking a turn of the string around stick of hard wood, and by these means re- volving it against another piece of hard wood punk is placed from time to time in the hole worn in the under board, and the heat generated from the friction of the two pieces of wood causes the punk to ignite
 The music of the Hydolia is an imitation of the cries of the birds, and is made by a series of whistles with which the natives become very expert. They also use the tomtom, made of walrus hides.-New York Mail and

THAT CITY HOSPITAL.

We pride ourselves in this good city of Waterbury, on our material progress We have grown in wealth; wonderfully in creased in population; important manu- factures have been established, some of old-time fame and many new contestants for favor. We are heard of far awey and always with praise; but ''tis distance lends enchantment to the view" and the strang- or who regards our advancement in indus trial prosperity with commendation and gives high place to our products in work shop and factory, is ignorant of the low place we occupy in matters which should go hand in hand with the amassing of coins; and how little we are entitled to commendation in things needful for the general welfare.
 We pass over to-day, the neglected con- dition of our public streets; the seas o1 slush and mountains of mud through which the wayfarers of the city have to wade or the appearance of the slightest rains; we refer not to many apparent sins of omission and commission in our city govern ment and come to that one matter ol neglect which should be our shame before the nation. We have @ population estimating by the progress of the last Cen sus of not less than twenty-six or twenty seven thousand; we have churches il abundance where the need of doing good for sweet charity's sake is inculcated; the exercise of private benevolence is not stinted; and there are institutions where morals are taught, and public virtue en- forced. But with all these attributes

THE potent pugilist, John L. Sullivan, is bent on capturing powers and principali- ties over the water. Having brought Al bert Edward, Prince of Wales, ''to time," last week in London, the Boston Boy with the Irish name has made Prince Edward, of Sa0e Weimar, commander of the forces in Ireland, bend to the grasp of his fist in Dublin We are told that Prince Edward s reception of the Prize-fghter was of a most fraternal character. Fraternal! Well anybody knows the Byronic free transla- tion of the phrase ''Arcades Ambo" which we quoted yesterday.

THE simplifcation of funerals is one of the crazes of the day. It has doubtless many points to recommend it; the saving of cost to the poor; the unseemly accom- paniments, sometimes, of feasting in the house of mourning; making a pageant of that which should be painful procession; and indulging in the external ''trappings and suits of woe" with the heart unattuned to the finer feelings of grief. All this is in degree very plausible, but like all plausible crazes it has to encounter a stronger feel ing than that of mere economy. Grief for the dead is sacred and sacrificing instinct of humanity; in some nations it is more pronounced than in others; in the Celtic temperament it is an abiding influence and philosophers and propagandists of social;

of religion and law-of material advance ment and intellectual culture, it will hardly be believed by those without the bounds of our municipal area that Waterbury has no hospital-no house of refuge-no medical or surgical organization-no curative ap- pliances by which sickness could be minis tered to or accident relieved We have amongst other praiseworthy possessions 8 public Library worthy of older and larger cities; but this is due to private generosity
 It is well to minister to the literary tastes and intellectual culture of a community; but these things may be avoided or postponed without sensible imme- diate danger; but there is no post ponement, without absolute danger to life, for the fractured skull or the broken limb or the internal shock to the system arising from the accidents which are but too frequent; and if private benefcence could | find it's field of operation in the magnif- cent Library we have spoken of, surely private benefcence-not confined to an | individual exercise, but ranging over an
 aggregation of wealthy citizens-could
 find means and ways for the immediate
 furnishing of Hospital accommodations.
 Steps have been taken in this needful di-
 rection; there are moneys on hand for the
 purpose; promises of further aid are plen-
 tiful, State support, we feel assured, will
 be liberal, and it only requires bold steT
 and an immediate, to relieve our city of the
 reproach involved in the want of such a1 institution and of the intensifcation o1
 smallest Dispensary relief to relieve sick
 ness, save such as may be sought through
 a roundabout red-tapeism which few peo
 pie, even the poorest, will subject them
 selves to- We shall return to this subject l

"CoMPLA1NT," says an exchange, ''is be- ing made by the Republicans that there is not colored man in the present Congress. :" Why, then, do not the Republicans afford a practical proof of their affection for the black men by giving them few seats in the House of Representatives! There is many Republican district in the North in which the Republicans could show their appreciation of their colored political as sociates. But instead of doing this, they are raising foolish outcry because South ern Democrats have not chosen to send colored Republicans to Congress-

The Bambergers are having a new
iron front put in their store Just below
the postoffice, and the question is, Are
they going to start bank?" They are
mum about the subject but something is
sure to develop when the President signs
that bill.
1t was reported about town to-day that
the workmen employed on the Mormon
Temple had struck, but the rumor was
fatty denied at the gate-house. 1t will be
more frigid day than this when those
men dare to object to anything that is
given them.
The habitues of the Police Court are so
particular about the appearance Of their
pretty Judge that it seems impossible for
them to do enough for him. This after
noon, Sheriff Burt and Policeman Pratt
gave the Judges shoes first-rate shine,
and transformed him into a perfect dude.
1t is limited that Burt is practicing up on
this sort of thing to keep his peck of bad
boys in better order.
Henry F. Clark, the popular and fash
ionable tailor, heretofore located on
South Main street, is fitting up new
shop at No. 20 +. First South street.
Mr.. Clark has just imported very fine
assortment of cloth, and is therefore
prepared to turn out frst-class gentle
mems suits in any style to suit the tastes
and purses of his customers. Cali on
Clark, the tailor.
Last evening Professor Joseph Paul, of
the Deseret University, gave lecture on
education in the Tenth Ward meeting
house. The subject was very appropri-
ate, but was listened to with that atten-
ton that lets ont at one ear what goes in
at the other. After the lecture the young
Tenth ward hoodlums made the air
hideous with their yelling and obsenity.
Give them another lecture, Professor.
The controversy between the members
of the firm of j. w. Farrell & Co. has
at last been settled satisfactorily to both
parties and j. w. Farrell will now buy
out the interest of J. F. Farrell and keep
the old stand. j. f. Farrell will 90 into
business at some other place. The
trouble was over the question of the
amount of ]. F. Farrell's interest in the
business, and this has been settled by
Judge Foreman. The two Farrell's,
though bearing the same name, are not
related as is generally supposed.
Sheriff Turner arrived here last even
ing, bringing with him the bodies of l..
r. Ketchum and John Q. Green, who
were killed in the late shooting ARRAY at
Burbank, Willard county. Sexton Tay-
lor took charge of Ketchum's body, and
will await orders from the deceased mans
brother, who is expected to arrive here
this evening. Green's remains was taken
to the home of his relatives on Sixth
South street, and will be buried this af-
ternoon. The main features of the event
as published in THE DEMOCRAT were cor
rect, and the particulars will come out on
the examination. Dell Hickman is in
Provo, where he went of his own accord.

NO OPERA TONIGHT.
Abbott Delayed at Red ROCK,
Montana.

The following telegram was received
this afternoon by the management OF the
Salt Lake Theatre:
RED Rock, Montana, March 2.-Disabled
engine prevents Abbott reaching Salt Lake
before midnight. Notify papers that all
other performances commencing thursday
will be promptly given as advertised.
E. j. WETHEILL.
This will be a very great disappoint-
ment to those who anticipated attending
the performance of "Lucretia Borgla"
this evening. The extraordinary efforts
that were made to get the company here
on time have amounted to naught, and
the theatre-gofng public will have to
stand it.
AS will be seen by the telegram the en-
gagement will begin tomorrow evening
and 90 on from from that date, but as
this cuts off the best opera the managers
of the Theatre will do all in their power
to arrange things differently. Mr.. Nc
Kenzie says that he will try to induce the
company to produce "Lucrezia" to-mor-
row afternoon as a matinee and making
the tickets sold for this evening good for
that performance.
Everyone wants "Lucrezia Borgia"
and they will all hope that we may get
it tomorrow afternoon or Monday night.
ARRANGEMENTS COMPLETED.
Since the above was in type, Mr.. Nc
Kenzie says that arrangements have
been completed for giving "Lucretia
Borgia" for matinee tomorrow
afternoon. The seats sold for tonight will
be good for the matinee, butanyone wish
ing their money back can get it an any
time before 9 o'clock tonight.
In cases where the money is
refunded, the seats will be resold to-
morrow morning at 10 O'Clock.
The matinee will begin at l o'clock
sharp.

KOPTIC KINKS.
Paddy BOYle's TrOubles-An Assault
Case and Some DRINKS.

The Police Court was buster than u.s.
ual to-day, the Judge being kept busy
during both sessions.
John Ellsworth, charged with taking
an overdose of indellible ink, pleaded
guilty and was fined So.
James Hill came up smiling under the
stigma of a similar offense, and upon
entering the same plea he was fined a
like amount.
Paddy Boyle was arraigned upon
two charges of petit larceny and
entered pleas of not guilty to each. The
evidence of half dozen witnesses placed
in juxtaposition to the plea was over
towering, and Paddy was adjudged
guilty. He was given thirty days for
each offense.
Charles McRea is on trial this after
noon for assault upon Hyrum Mikesell,
the man who was so efectually laid out
by young Morgan's neck-yoke last sum-
mer. 1t appears that the two men had
trouble some time ago, but came to some
sort of an understanding, under which
they had gotten along all right until yes
terday when they happened to meet
upon Seventh East street. Mikesell
claims that McRea began picking on him
on account of their old trouble and then
slapped him in the face.
